Rappahannock’s county clerk for 14 years.
“I want to make a contribution to the county that will benefit everyone in the county, in gratitude for the positive and joyful experience that many years of living here have meant to me.” Mrs. Jones said.
“I decided to choose the Library as the recipient of my gratitude to the county, because both Mr. Jones and I felt that the Library, more than any other of our many good institutions, serves more people. In fact, everyone in the county—both black and white, regardless of age, section, economics or religion—is served.”
Serving the county in which they live is part of family tradition for the Joneses, a family that has been the source of several generations of county lawyers and judges.
Civic responsibility is something Mrs. Jones brought to Rappahannock when she came, adopting this county and its concerns.
“I’ve always been interested in county endeavors,” she admitted. “And after watching our library grow from an acorn into a healthy tree—now too large and thriving for its container—I decided it needed space. i “I have watched with admiration the intense dedication and talent of many friends and volunteers who have developed our little library into an important and lively factor in all our fives. It is my hope that my land gift will solve a part of the fibrary’B pressing space problem.”
On behalf of Friends of the Rappahannock County Library, Mrs. Janies P. Jamieson spoke in appreciation of the gift.
